[Germany and Switzerland Jointly Shut Down Cryptomixer Platform Operating for Nearly 9 Years] Germany and Switzerland jointly enforced the shutdown of the money laundering platform Cryptomixer, which had been operating for nearly 9 years and had laundered $1.4 billion worth of Bitcoin since 2016. The enforcement action in Zurich seized 3 servers, 12TB of data, and over $27 million in crypto assets, and the platform's domain name was also confiscated. Authorities stated that Cryptomixer was a key money laundering hub for ransomware groups, dark web markets, and fraud organizations.

Analysts believe that if the policy statement and Powell's press conference mention the possibility of 'pausing monetary easing,' rate cuts could become a compromise path.
